Sunday, November 24th:

On Sunday evening, LIFE approached Abraham Zapruder on the phone and requested that they meet to negotiate LIFE’s acquisition of additional rights to the film. 

Something” had happened that caused the magazine to seek all rights to the film, including motion picture rights, and outright ownership of both the original film, and all copies!!!

The price bumped up to $150,000.

Zapruder agreed.

Something weird was going on.
Why did ((they)) want the original, his copy, and all rights to make movies off his film?

Now…back to what was going on in DC…

Briefing Boards placed in the National Archives by the CIA in 1993 are not the briefing boards that were prepared by Dino Brugioni’s team.

In the years 2009 and 2011 Brugioni was shown good photographs of each of these four briefing board panels. He consistently and emphatically denied that the four panels in the JFK Records Collection are the ones he made in 1963!!

Remember, Brugioni made “briefing boards” off the original Zapruder film.

A few of the many facts that let DINO BRUGIONI know they weren’t his Briefing Boards:

The frame numbers and the magnification factor his group placed at the top of each board, are not present on the Archive briefing boards.

The four panels in the Archive contain 28 prints…not the 12 to 15 prints he made for his briefing boards.
Why would they add more?

The 4 briefing board panels at the Archives contain different information and a different layout, than what Brugioni placed on his briefing boards.   

The next one is very significant!👇

NPIC EVENT # 2 (Presided over by Homer McMahon. With Ben Hunter).

Secret Service Agent Bill Smith delivered an ”unslit, double 8” home movie film, 16 mm wide” to Homer McMahon & Ben Hunter…both who worked at NPIC… that same weekend after JFK’s assassination.

McMahon was told by Bill Smith that “a patriotic citizen in Dallas had donated the camera-original film to the Secret Service out of a sense of duty, and that the individual did not want to make any money off of the film, and so he had given it to the Secret Service for free.”

Hmmm.

Bill Smith told McMahon he had personally couriered the undeveloped film himself to a Top Secret Kodak film lab called “Hawkeyeworks,” in Rochester, N.Y. Here is where the film was developed.

The personnel at the Top Secret lab had subsequently referred Bill Smith back to NPIC in Washington DC for the making of individual frame enlargements and briefing boards.

According to Homer McMahon…when Bill Smith came to NPIC in Washington, D.C., he had already examined the home movie.
SECRET SERVICE AGENT BILL Smith’s expressed opinion:
1. only 3 shots had been fired at the occupants of President Kennedy’s limousine on Elm Street,
2. All shots fired from the Texas School Book Depository by Lee Harvey Oswald

But…
HOMER MCMAHON disagreed.

McMahon believed 6 to 8 shots had hit President Kennedy, and that they had been fired from at least three directions.  But he could not change Bill Smith’s mind.
He felt it was all pre-conceived.

*image was taken off internet and shows possible shots.

In truth, Bill Smith did not want Homer McMahon or Ben Hunter to do any analysis whatsoever; he only wanted them to make internegatives and blowup prints, or enlargements, for the frames he selected during his visit to NPIC.

So what does all this mean? 
A LOT!!

BILL SMITH OF THE SECRET SERVICE lied to Homer McMahon and Bill Hunter about a number of things:
1. He lied when he said “a private citizen donated the assassination film out of patriotism because he did not want to make any money on it.”

ABRAHAM ZAPRUDER was determined to make as much money as he could off of the film…and did!!

2. BILL SMITH OF THE SECRET SERVICE lied when he said he carried the undeveloped film to Rochester and had it developed at “Hawkeyework.”
Wrong!

The camera-original Zapruder film was developed at the Kodak Plant in Dallas on Friday, November 22, 1963!!

And this is the one you want for the records…
